Rooms are great for the price. A/c was just a tad loud but not a big deal. Very quiet during my stay which is awesome. Room was completely smoke free, clean and had hygiene items and very bright white towels. Bed is very comfortable and room also had a tv with direct-tv service.

This was a clean nice little hotel. They were friendly and proceed right. Bed was a little firmer than I like but I slept well. Looks like it has been recently updated. And it was a life saver after a long detour from coming down from the white mountains.

This place is such a gem. The bed was beyond comfortable. It had to be memory foam. The linens were all super clean, the air was cool, room was clean, water pressure in shower was excellent and the pool, WOW. So relaxing and never a lot of people in it - if ever while we were there. Perfect location next to Bootleg canyon where I could run as the sun rises, while hearing a pin drop, then Coffee Cup Cafe for a delicious fresh hot breakfast! We met one of the owner's and he was great! I needed a hair dryer and the front desk loaned me one. The grounds are super clean. We would go to a gas station near by to get coffee in the morning. 11am check out is fabulous! Housekeeping gets 5 stars too! I cannot WAIT to go back!

Simple, no frills mid century retro motel Rooms are comfortable, nicely decorated. Staff was friendly and helpful. Price is a good value. It's not the Hyatt, but if you want that, go stay at the Hyatt. No pool or spa, but we just needed a place to rest/sleep, so no big deal. Would stay here again.

Friendly owners, cozy single room, the a/c unit was just too loud. Every time it came on, it would wake me up (wich was often in the middle of June) but it was better than sleeping in my car. The unit did keep the room nice and cool.

Classic old roadside-style hotel. Good price. Good value. Friendly staff. Comfy bed. Lots of lighting and close to the door parking make this an ok spot for ladies traveling alone. (Tho' I didn't like that both of the door's locks had an outside key access and I did not see a chain/internal lock mechanism.) Nice flat screen tv and I liked the bathroom design and remodeling.

This is the best place to stay in Globe, AZ . The rooms are inexpensive and the staff is very friendly. The motel has fast and free wifi and the rooms are very clean.The rooms and bathrooms have been renovated. The beds are very comfortable and the TVs are a decent size. The room I stayed in had an amazing bathroom and it was very clean. This is the place to stay if you are looking for a nice place to stay and don't want to pay an outrageous price.
